Adelea's minis!
She has been sat on my office shelf for the past week or so in just underwear, whilst I was waiting on clothes to arrive.
The first outfit I had ordered is just a tiny bit too small for her - hopefully it will fit on the Phicen S22 I am waiting on.
However, today her stiletto heels arrived - and they are gorgeous! Unfortunately, the heel is really fine and delicate, and has broken on one of the shoes. I think I may need to remove a bit more, and then fit a steel pin in its place - so it resembles those high heels with a silver metal stem.

And yes I agree, the detail on these is amazing in something only 12" tall.
She does look pretty foxy yes! It hasn't really been a hardship having to keep her dressed like this
Re: Adelea's minis!
Her outfit is really lovely and her shoes are great, pity about the heel though.
Looking forward to her future photosets.
Re: Adelea's minis!
I dressed her in the outfit I had that didnt fit Felicity, and well, staining is a thing! So I took it off, and am researching stain removal Some posts say to leave it, and it will fade - so I will try that. Failing that, I will need some sort of ball gown for her to cover it all!
The stockings are also really short - barely knee length, so will need to try and get some longer ones.
I also built, lets call it, a Scandi minimalist sofa! Somewhere for them to sit and pose. I'll put some padding on and upholster it at some point.
To the naked eye, the hands and feet look the same colour. I guess there are some colour adjustments that need to be made here

Re: Adelea's minis!
Hopefully will be sorted soon!

Re: Adelea's minis!
I like the sofa you made for them. Could easily be flat-pack from IKEA! Ha ha.
All you need now is some more furniture for their "house".
Been looking at the threads for these mini-dolls. Very interesting.
Some great photo possibilities using the cheap photo backdrops that you can get.
They're great if you have a small house or limited space.
Also easy to take outside somewhere for some better locations, just pop them in a bag/rucksack.
I'll probably get one of these little beauties soon.

Re: Adelea's minis!
As for stains, yeah, I’m afraid they stain just like the ‘big’ dolls if you’re not careful! You could try Benzoil Peroxide (acne cream) but it is expensive here (getting on for £10 a tube) but the stains do tend to fade after a week or two. It’s best to powder them using a fine haired makeup brush before putting clothes on though. It gives a barrier between skin and clothes but also helps get the clothes on in the first place!
Taking them out for shoots is great as people don’t seem to take much notice of a weirdo taking photos of a small doll! The problem is mainly with camera focus on something small in the foreground and large (like buildings) in the background! I took Miette out to King’s College in Cambridge last summer and there were hundreds of tourists there with no one taking any notice of me at all! Trouble was focus though and I only got a few of her in focus with the College in the background also in focus!

Re: Adelea's minis!
Brushing with powder definitely helped with the stockings this time, they just slid on! I didnt use a fine brush though, I used the big puffy one I use to powder Adara Seems to have done the job!
I do have another body/head arriving soon - so, yeah I know what you mean about addictive! They are just so cute though

Re: Adelea's minis!
Here’s some of mine with the two tinies!
The ‘black’ one is a Jiaou Doll that I stained to be black plus a Barbie head!

Re: Adelea's minis!
What is the availability of clothes like for them? And shoes - especially heels ?
